Joe Bynum, MA, LPC

Introduction: My specialties are depression, anxiety, coping, emotional and behavioral issues, self-esteem, children, adolescents, family, relationships issues, parenting issues, self identity, stress, substance abuse, trauma, PTSD, gender issues, anger management, grief/loss, academic underachievement, school behavior, bipolar, stress, impulse control, career counseling, mood disorders, thinking disorders, transitional, and issues/adjustment disorder Therapy does not need to be dark or mysterious. In fact, it can be invigorating and empowering. You and I will create a partnership, which focuses on healing. As a team, we will establish clear goals and immediately begin working to achieve them. My approach is to identify your personal strengths and support you in utilizing these strengths to overcome life's challenges. I believe therapy should be a partnership between you and your therapist, but with different roles. My role as your therapist is to meet you on your level, and help you get to the next level.
